Seven reasons to work at Societe Generale

• To help new employees get up to speed quickly, they receive support through the Starting induction programme and website during their first few months on the job.

• For the fourth consecutive year, Societe Generale received the "Top Employer France 2017" label for its Human Resources policy, which allows its employees to develop both professionally and personally. Each year, the company invests significantly in training to enable its employees to develop their skills (business, technical, personal or managerial development) and their employability, taking into account the reality of the company and its future developments: training paths adapted to each type of position and level of experience, innovative teaching tools (MOOC, micro-learning, online classes, etc.), professional career path, etc. This perpetual desire to adapt training to not just the needs of employees but of the company as well, while innovating, is a key rule of the Group's policy.

• The Group's training services (corporate or professional) seek above all to support the development of employees, following the guidelines of the HR policy and the strategy for the development of the bank's business. To this end, they offer training courses aimed at developing cross-disciplinary and business skills for all employees.

• The evolution of learning methods naturally leads the Group's training offer to include more online courses. This major development axis is based on new, innovative and efficient training methods adapted to our business lines: MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses), web conferences, social learning, online classes (Webex) rapid-learning and e-learning... The digitization of training is widely deployed across the Group.

• The diversity of our workforce creates enriching interactions, often giving you the possibility to collaborate with colleagues from all over the world and work on projects across geographies.

• If your career ambition includes working overseas, then Societe Generale may be the employer you’ve been looking for, as we provide several paths for international mobility.

• Colleagues: through a variety of programmes in several countries, we promote a good work-life balance, we support health and safety initiatives, and we develop favourable maternity packages. In 2014, our Executive Committee signed a charter of 15 commitments for good work-life balance, launched by French public authorities.
  Many of these commitments are mirrored outside of France.

• Communities: we sponsor a number of social (the fight against illiteracy, professional integration), cultural (classical music and contemporary art) and sports-related (rugby, golf and disabled sports) activities and commitments.
